Pros

Every day offers opportunities to learn. With people changing teams fairly frequently, you will never run out of new, interesting work.

Cons

Teammate quality varies. The best engineers are the busiest/least available, so getting help when you need it is hard, especially when you're not in person.

In regard to work-life balance: I used to do a 30-minute walk during lunch at my old job. Nowadays, I eat through my lunch breaks. Sometimes you might need to work late to grind out a task without any distractions. However, this is mostly voluntary, and you can take your time back easily.
